I'm 5ft 9 and about 160 - lowest was about 125 in college (i have a very small frame). Would like to be about 135-140. Gotta a lot of work to do!!

You can make your own! http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com/free/ChiliSauce.htm http://www.food.com/recipe/low-sodium-red-chili-sauce-40355

http://www.mariobatali.com/restaurants_bb.cfm http://www.mesagrill.com/las-vegas-restaurant/ ---- my favorite http://taolasvegas.com/ And... if you are going to do a buffet, do it for lunch but eat late - at like 2 or 3 (i think the lunch ends at 3) and it's like 1/2 the price, but the exact same foods as dinner. WE ate at…

Agreed - anyone, anyone???

It is very difficult to retrain your brain - you are right! The first thing I would do, if i were you is cut out the 460 calories in Tim Horton's coffee drink in the mornings! That using up so many of your calories! Then slowly start to cut back on processed foods - i honestly believe that the processed food can be…

Why do you care so much! Most importantly, this should be a positive and supportive site ... and you're comments seem negative and like you are trying to insult people! It's not like the pictures are blown up huge or are flashing on a billboard... just ignore them if you don't like them! Be nice! :)

Make good decisions!!! I think I say that to myself each time I open the fridge! :)

I would definately suggest loweing your sodium intake drastically. I would also cut back on breads and any sort of sweets, chips, crackers, and processed/prepared meals. And definately stay away from the fast food and pizzas for now. I have seen the best results with lean protein (chicken, turkey, egg whites, etc), lots of…

Then I wouldn't worry about going over your carbs b/c of fruit/veggies! If it was cake and chips... that's another story! Good luck! :happy:

This all depends on your body. For me, I can not look at calories alone. If I go way over on sodium or carbs, I don't lose weight really. So, just pay attention to your body and go from there. I think if you are over on your protein, that is fine. Also, if you are over your sugar and/or carbs - look at why. For example, I…

If you feel comfortable with it - do it!! I am the same height as you and around the same weight and I wear one!

And yours is probably a lot healthier -- much less salt and preservatives!! Those type of frozen meals tend to be loaded with sodium and chemicals! Great thinking! :)

I'm in!

You can do alot with ground turkey! We make patties mixed with garlic, spinach and low or no fat feta cheese (just alittle!) and grill them - they come out so flavorfull! I also ground up turkey burger and mix in peppers, onions, tomatos, black olives(just a few!) and a little dollop of sour cream and salsa and I eat it…

I try and stay away from typical snacks and instead eat "mini meals" that are high in protein so it fills you up and "sticks" with you. I usually boil chicken breasts for the week with Ms. Dash chicken and then shred it up to be pulled chicken. When i am hungry for a snack, I mix this with some salsa or some chopped up…

We do paved trails and even some of the wood trails in our area all of the time and we got bikes at Sports Authority a few years ago for about 200-250 each. Becuase we don't do rough trail riding or racing, etc they are perfect for us. We've done up to 30 mile trips on them - they're perfect and we didn't have to spend a…

We just tried this recipe last night on the grill and it was AWESOME! I just used less salt because we are watching our salt intake. You can play with the spice/heat in it too - i didn't have what the recipe called for so I used some paprika, red pepper flakes and cumin mixed in with the other ingrediants. The little bit…

I have the same issue at work these days. For me, at the begining of the week I cut up tons of veggies - carrots, celery, cucumbers, green peppers, etc so they are available to me when I am feeling that snacking "itch". If just the veggies are too bland for you, look for low fat/ low calorie dips. I am loving dips that are…
